Root Canal Treatment is suitable for:

  • Injury to the tooth causing damage to the pulp tissue

Why should I see the Dentist with Specialist Interest in Root Canal Treatment?

Every tooth is different – Some teeth have complex anatomy and molar teeth generally have more root canals than front teeth. A dentist with special interest in root canal treatments has the skill and training to treat difficult cases. Complex root anatomy involves:

  • Curved roots / anatomy
  • Very small canals that may be difficult to locate
  • Re – root canal treatment
  • Post Op root canal pain (pain after root canal treatment)
  • Fracture files in the root canals
  • Root perforations
  • Failing root canal treatments
  • Apicectomy – A minor surgical procedure to remove the top of the root of a dead tooth and then seal the end with a bio-compatible filling material

It may appear to be an easy treatment process but can be extremely challenging.

What will the treatment involve?

Your treatment will be carried out under local anesthetic. The root canals will be identified and disinfected. The disinfection involves using specific root canal files and after cleaning will be filled with a sealant material. A crown is recommended following completion to protect the integrity/strength of the tooth. Usually root canal treatments can take one visit, however in some very difficult cases two appointments may be required.

What happens after a root canal?

After a root canal, your dentist may place a temporary or permanent filling in the tooth to seal it and protect it from further damage. In some cases, a crown may be recommended to strengthen and restore the tooth’s appearance. With proper care, including good oral hygiene practices and regular dental check-ups, a tooth that has undergone a root canal can last a lifetime.
